摘要: The speed of sound in quark matter is an important physical quantity for studying the properties and the spacetime evolution of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The behavior of the speed of sound with respect to temperature and density can reveal to some extent the equation of state and the phase structure of QGP. Building upon the previous studies on the speed of sound in symmetric quark matter, the formulae for calculating the speed of sound in asymmetric quark matter in the temperature-density space are further derived. The PNJL model is then used to calculate the dependence of the speed of sound on isospin asymmetry. Furthermore, the relationship between the magnitude of the speed of sound and the QCD phase structure is discussed, and the regions where the acoustic equation fails are indicated under different physical conditions.

摘要: The hadron-quark phase transition is studied with the newly constructed HadronPoyakov-Nambu Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. Particularly, in the description of quark matter, we include the isoscalar-vector interaction. With the constraints of neutron star observations, our calculation shows the isoscalar-vector interaction between quarks is indispensable if massive hybrids star exist in the universe. Its strength determines the onset density of quark matter, and the mass-radius relations of hybrid stars. Also, as a connection with heavy-ion-collision experiments, we discuss the strength of isoscalar-vector interaction and its effect on the signals of hadron-quark phase transition in heavy-ion collisions, such as NICA at JINR-Dubna and FAIR at GSI-Darmstadt.
